My client recently called me about her experiencing intense upper right pain in her abdominal area that is radiating to her back. She said the symptoms started last night accompanied by nausea. Shementioned that she did not sleep very well last night until she finally went into the living room and slept upright in the recliner (symptoms are worse when lying down). Interestingly, she noted that bending forward exacerbates the abdominal pain while bending backwards provides noticeable relief. Similarly, standing upright or walking around seems to help alleviate her discomfort.

She went on to say that she suspects her gallbladder might be the issue. She said a couple of years ago she had an abdominal ultrasound done for a different health concern, and while it didn’t reveal any immediate problems, the doctor noted the presence of a couple of small stones forming in her gallbladder. At the time, the doctor advised that as long as the stones weren’t causing any discomfort, they would wait to address the issue only if complications arose, at which point the gallbladder would likely be removed. Nevertheless, she expressed her reluctance to undergo gallbladder removal, despite doctors assuring that living without it generally doesn’t cause issues. She believes that the gallbladder must serve an important purpose in the body; otherwise, it wouldn’t exist.

I asked my client what she had to eat for last night’s dinner. She stated that her family was attending a holiday party. She shared that her meal included some vegetables, salad, lasagna with cheese and sausage, along with some roast beef. She also said she had a couple of rich pastries with cream, and she tried a fried doughnut. I explained to my client gallstone attacks commonly occur after consuming some rich greasy or fatty kinds of foods. After asking my client a few more questions I selected the homeopathic remedy Dioscorea Villosa 30c to be taken for the gallbladder attack which is more than likely caused by the gallbladder stones. I had her take the Dioscorea 30c in a Remedy Solution Bottle with ten succussions. I had my client take a dose of Dioscorea Velosa and I told her to repeat the remedy when the gallstone pain increases again, which can be anywhere from one to three times a day. I emphasized that our ultimate goal is to progressively reduce the intensity of her gallstone pain with each passing day.

I advised my client to take the herbal tincture Barberry (Berberis Vulgaris) daily in warm water. This helps dissolve the gallstones, breaking them down into tine granules that can be naturally eliminated during bowel movements. I also explained to my client that if she sees a yellowish brownish stone in the toilet, she has passed the gallstone.

Three days later, my client informed me that her gallstone pain has dramatically decreased with the Dioscorea. She said the first day she needed two doses of Dioscorea, and yesterday she only needed to take one dose. She stated the gallstone pain is down to 1-2 for today. I explained to her that she will continue taking the Dioscorea daily even at just one dose a day until she no longer has gallstone pain. I also told her that she’ll be taking the Barberry Tincture water solution once a day for a couple of months until the stones have completely dissolved.

What is a Gallstone?

Gallstones, also known as Cholelithiasis, are hardened pebble-like deposits of bile that develop in your gallbladder or bile ducts. Gallstones can be tiny as grains of sand, which can develop into large golf ball sizes. The most common types of gallstones are the Cholesterol and Pigment (bilirubin) stones.

Gallstones are common and are harmless. You may never know they are there, because they never bother you. But once the stones start to move from your biliary system (in the upper right quadrant of your abdomen, under your right ribcage), through your biliary tract, they can get stuck and create a blockage, causing you a lot of pain. In some cases, being stuck in your biliary tract can cause serious complications, includingCholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation), Pancreatitis (pancreas inflammation). Hepatitis, Jaundice and even Septicemia (an infection in your bloodstream). Gallbladder removal (surgery) is the method commonly used by medical systems to treat gallstones.

Gallstone Symptoms

Gallstone pain can occur in the middle of your abdomen or chest, felt in your right arm, between your shoulder blades, especially your right shoulder blade (scapula). The pain can come on suddenly and last for a few minutes to several hours, especially when the stone is moving down your biliary tract. The intensity of the pain is often triggered after eating a rich, heavy or fatty meal causing your gallbladder to contract.

Other Gallstone Symptoms You May Have:

• Pain – sharp, stabbing, cramping or squeezing
• Nausea and sweating
• A fever
• Abdominal swelling and tenderness
• A yellow tint to your skin and whites of the eyes
• Dark-colored pee and light-colored poop
